I am shallow, in that I like to rate artworks on a scale of hotness. Art should be attractive, after all, because it has to hold your attention for more than 5 seconds...like the work of Elizabeth Higgins O'Connor. I am a sucker for "soft-sculpture" but I find her monstrous/cuddly forms really resonate. Its almost as if the dust bunnies and lost socks of the world mutated and molded together to form your favorite stuffed animal...times 10.
